It’s Women’s History Month!
Seattle women fire fighters we celebrate you. This episode focuses on women’s bodies. We’re covering as much as we can from physical strength to menstrual and reproductive health. We’re also talking about ill-fitting gear, and how women adapt their bodies to lift, carry, and find ways to get the job done…safely. With us in this episode is Station 2 physician Dr. Marcie Hamrick and Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Beth Murphy, a former fire fighter herself. Listen in.
We also want to make sure you know about this resource:
